With the new update came huge layout changes. Some people prefer the changes and some people, like myself, don't. Sometimes you get used to something and then big changes like this throw you off. So I think there should be an option to choose your layout under account options. This way you have the freedom to choose which works best for you, and the creators don't lose all their hard work!

This gives both sides the freedom to chose what they like. It can work almost like the themes! People can get used to it, but what is the harm in letting them choose!

I've noticed the new layout works better for people on smaller mobile devices, which is great. But it's inconvenient for people on landscape or computers. Some times it's a matter of personal preference, like the nesting page. This is even more reason for a toggle. The text on my device ( a landscape tablet) looks awful, almost cluttered and overall is NOT nice to look at.

This was suggested by multiple users in chat and I decided to make it into a suggestion! I hope I don't sound ungrateful for the hard work the team has put into lioden and the updates - I am very grateful for their work!

I would love some feedback, seeing as I have many no supports! I would be willing to tweak the suggestion if need be!



This suggestion has 85 supports and 24 NO supports.

I don't think this is gonna work out.. it'd be way too much coding work. People will get used to the new layout, which is better from an objective stand point. There are a few things that should be tweaked, and I imagine they will be.

Eh no support. It's only been 1 day, people will get used to it.

I'm thrown off a bit too, but tomorrow I'll know where things are, no big deal.

I dont get the no supports. If you like it, fine. If other people dislike it don't deny them the chance to go back to how it was before.

"They'll get used to it" isn't a reason.

I guess I " no support" for two reasons. 1: if there are 2 layouts then it can be confusing to new members when they ask someone how to do something and they are asked which layout/ if they see screenshots of the other layout but have no idea why. and 2: we can't just have two options for every ( non game play) update because that would cause too much stress on the servers.

We have the option to have a night or day background so I don't see why we can't have one for this? It's more coding yes but that's more or less it. We have toggle options for a bunch of stuff to.
Lots of sites have multiple site layouts and backgrounds so I see no reason lioden can't?

The new update is good in a way, it's good to see the site moving forward and changing, it's nice to see the site alive unlike others which haven't updated in years.
However my biggest issue is I have a problem remembering things and it's taken a while for me to get use to the game as a whole, changing it like this throws me off.

Kimiko you have good points! Maybe new players can be given the new layout by default (but the ability to change.).
As for that, I don't think we need a toggle for every update. They can work on smaller things in each layout and keep just 2 or maybe 3 layouts?

Anyways thank you for the feedback!

Support. They also for some reason decided to make some of the font smaller and it's hard for me to read.
